Last day in DC / L'ultimo giorno a DC

The party is over, the movers have come, bags are ready, so are we, passports and tickets at hand, we wake up in an empty home, with a mix of feeling between excitment for our new adventure and malincony for what we are leaving behind. 6 years of adventures, plenty of friends and great memories. Our last great memory comes very unexpected. The Capobianco family shows up in the morning and fills the house with fantastic breakfast and with their presence. There is no chair where to sit and our empy living room becomes our breakfast table. The house seems small again, with Alice and I running around for one more time in the so called Kibuz at q street. Thank God they gave me a teddy bear with our picture printed on it, so I will never forget Alice, my first love, and the wonderful Italian Zios



La festa e' finita, e cosi' pure il trasloco, le valigie sono pronte e lo siamo anche noi, passaporti e biglietti alla mano, la nostra casa vuota ...piena solo di tante emozioni, malinconia per un ennesimo addio dopo sei anni di esperienze indimenticabili, ed eccitamento per l'inizio della nuova avventura. Un ultima bellissima sorpresa inaspettata: I Capobelski appaiono alla porta e riempiono il soggiorno con una fantastica colazione e col calore della loro amicizia. Non abbiamo sedie ne' un tavolo... ma il carpet si trasforma in un prato per il pic-nic improvvisato. La casa sembra di nuovo troppo piccola: Alice ed io corriamo da tutte le parti ancora una volta, nel Kibbutz di Q street. Grazie al cielo mi hanno regalato un bellissimo orsacchiotto con la loro fotografia ... cosi' non potro' dimenticare Alice: il mio primo amore, ed i miei fantastici zii italiani. GRAZIE!!!

Goodbye Washington

We could not have hoped for a better farewell. Our good-bye party at Montrose Park was just awesome! We lost the cont of the number of people who came, but our best estimate is that we reached 100 people, including 15 kids or more. Great thanks to everyone who came and contributed in several ways. Carlo, Leonardo and Adrian did an amazing job at the barbecue, Simone, the unofficial photographer, took great pics (we will post a videoclip on this page, so stay tuned) and many others contributed with food, but also manpower (special thanks to all those who stayed until dark to help cleaning up the place....and making sure no food was left on the barbecue).

Thanks to all those who brought their kids. As you can see from the pic below, it seems they had even more fun than their parents




We just remained speachless, happy but also a bit sad. We will really miss all of you!!!!

Breaking news!!

After 6 years in Washington DC, the Santi-Ruso family will move on....to TUNISIA. Mum and Dad are going crazy, moving things around and running all over the place. They told me that soon I will be in a place where I would not need a coat during the winter and I would be able to spend lots of time eating sand an woking on my tanning. I really look forward to it. In the meanwhile, we keep on having fun, find out by clicking HERE....and later HERE
